In her freshman year, Rodriguez slipped from the graduation track and fell far enough behind that panic ensued in the coming years. The 17-year-old said by the end of her sophomore year, she knew things had gone completely wrong.
"I feel like I was still really immature," Rodriguez said. "I felt that I had a middle school mind and I used to think 'I don't have to pass these classes to get out.' I just didn't do my work and I didn't really worry about school or see how important it was until about the end of sophomore year. I knew I needed to get back on track and get my credits back up."
It was Rodriguez's cousin, who had just finished crossing the stage and capping her high school career, who opened her eyes to the importance of a high school diploma. After two years of inefficient study habits, Rodriguez knew the road to recovery would not come easy.
"I have been having to stay after school a lot, especially during the first semester of junior year it was almost every day," she said. "I did a lot of classes online and sometimes at lunch I would go into a class to ask for help and figure different things out.
"English has always been the hardest subject for me. I am really bad at English and I always used to pass that class with a D. So I would almost always go into that class to work with the teacher and try to work on work that didn't make sense to me."
Rodriguez works diligently during and after school in her attempt to regain a decent grade point average. She has also become active in Leadership, which has allowed her to help plan events such as Homecoming and Prom and increase her interaction with goal-oriented students.
Rodriguez plans to attend Truckee Meadows Community College after graduation and she would like to study medicine in hopes of becoming a nurse. She said her interest in pediatrics, and her love for kids, has fueled her desire to work in medicine, but she feels pediatrics would require "too much schooling."
"Whenever I would visit a hospital I would see the nurses and it always seemed like something that I would like to do and I think I would be good at," she said. "Interacting with patients and people, I think, would be really fun."
Looking back at her triumphs and shortfalls in high school, Rodriguez said she feels better prepared to handle the different things life will throw at her. She said the most important thing she has learned is to attack her goals right away rather than put them off.
"I think the biggest lesson I learned from having to catch up on my grades in high school is get things right the first time instead of having to go through it a second time because it is much harder," she said.

If it doesn't, Weaver residents and visitors will likely have to wait at least another year to buy a drink in their town on Sunday.
"We're running out of time quickly," said Weaver Mayor Wayne Willis.
For weeks, Willis has been pleading with legislators to pass a bill that would allow the Weaver City Council to approve Sunday alcohol sales, something Willis hopes will persuade businesses to have their property annexed into the city.
The bill, introduced in the Senate more than a month ago, was approved by a Senate committee but hasn't moved yet to the Senate floor for a vote.
Sen. Del Marsh, R-Anniston, plans to seek that vote today, said his spokesman, Derek Trotter. Still, the Weaver bill will wait in line with a host of other bills that must also pass the Senate today for a realistic shot at passage by both houses. Today is the 26th day of the Legislature's 30-day session, leaving little time for Senate bills to make it through the House committee process.
Trotter said the Weaver bill has been delayed by other Senate business — in particular, the passage of "sunset bills" which reauthorize the existence of certain state agencies and must be passed before the end of the session.
The delay has irked Willis, who watched as a similar bill for Anniston, Weaver's larger neighbor, fought its way to passage by both houses. Willis is doubly frustrated because misinformed people keep calling him to congratulate him on getting Sunday sales.
"They've read about the Anniston bill and they think we got ours, too," he said.
Anniston leaders said their bill — officially the Anniston Ecotourism Beverage Bill — was designed to give the city the option of approving Sunday sales in order to boost crowds at weekend events in the city.
Weaver's leaders had a different plan. Willis said Sunday sales would encourage businesses along Alabama 21 to seek annexation into the city. Smokin' Joes Tobacco and Beverage Store and Heroes American Grille both lie along the much-traveled highway.
Alabama 21 connects Anniston to Jacksonville, but parts of the highway are within Weaver's police jurisdiction.
Willis said annexation would increase the city's tax revenue from both establishments — and would allow the city to establish a presence on Alabama 21.
"This isn't about revenue," Willis said. "It's about the growth of the town."
Heroes owner Marc Spaulding said passage of the bill — and annexation into Weaver with Sunday sales — would add 15 to 20 percent to his sales. He said the sports bar typically doesn't open on Sundays because it's too hard to draw customers without giving them a chance to drink.
"It's really hurting us on NFL weekends," he said. "Nobody wants to go out to watch the game with wings and a Coke."
Passage today wouldn't make the Weaver bill law, but would get it to the House in time for passage.
Anniston's Sunday sales bill passed the Senate 25-2, but faced a tough fight in the House, where two of Calhoun County's four legislators refused to endorse it.
One of those opponents, Rep. Randy Wood, R-Saks, said he'd also vote against Weaver sales.
"I'm opposed to it, and I believe more than half of my constituents feel the same way," he said.
Anniston's Sunday sales bill still awaits Gov. Robert Bentley's signature. Earlier this month, Bentley sent the bill back to the Legislature with suggested revisions, which both houses passed last week. Passage of such revisions, known as executive amendments, typically guarantees a bill the governor's signature, but the bill was unsigned as of Monday afternoon.
Bentley spokesman Jeremy King said that by law, the governor had until Thursday to sign the bill.

Raj's SEO Service's 'Screaming Hot Deal of the Day'
Sign up one new friend and get two years of free SEO Services - Contractors Only Please - This special deal is not available to anyone since it is a joke discussion, but man if this was real what an amazing special on SEO services. Pricing this low is made possible with the thanks for thousands of under and over aged workers and such cheap calling plans out of Indian and the Far East.
I took this screen shot of my weekly traffic from my blog site. You can see by the little volume that it is not a busy place. This is why so many people need a good quality SEO man on the job. I have none - Raj of course is my little "Fake Buddy" and this experiment is just that - An Experiment into what other areas Terry's site can draw traffic.
Forum's are well ranked.
Forum's like Terry's are really well ranked.
Now you can spend $150.00 a month and try and compete with Terry's Forum but I think you would be fighting a loosing battle. If I had $1,800.00 a year for SEO services I might just give it to Terry and ask for a banner on his page. Which would bring you more business. Or you can help out around here and answer questions that pertain to your field or trade. Works for me.
Look at my stats above. Two of the traffic drivers are "Fake" - so funny. I can not even get a guage of how my own blog is doing because of the fake views. This trickery is new and I'm sure in time Goggle will catch it and modify the programming to stop it. Then it will be something else.
I will only talk about SEO Services in this thread. I will tell everyone that I use Raj's SEO Services. I'm laughing now because I'm getting emails from companies asking me if I want to outsource my clients needs!!!
Terry maybe you can charge one company to place their banner within this thread!!! LOL

I am new to this program.. I was doing Weight watchers before And i find I need something new to help me lose some more fat. I weigh 150 pouds at 5'1. I am wondering how everyone figures out what to eat for every meal and how much protein and carbs im suppose to be eating for each meal. I am following the guide for the first week, but after that I have no idea what to do, and i dont want to give up if I dont know how to eat propery on BFL
Easiest way to do it is "by the book" - six meals per day, each meal consisting of a portion of quality lean protein the size of your palm and a portion of carbohydrates the size of your clenched fist. At two of the meals, add a serving of vegetables. This site has a list of example "authorized" foods (bodyforlife.com/.../food-list). One day per week is a "free day" where you can ignore the guidelines as much as you want (many people just do a "free meal" or two instead of a whole free day). And don't forget the ten cups of water per day!
The beauty of this method is it auto-sizes your portions for your proper body size without needing to count grams or calories. If, for some reason, you really want or need to count grams and calories, I would suggest taking several "example" meals which follow the "palm-and-fist" rule and analyzing them to get an appropriate range for grams and calories (remember to use portion sizes that match YOUR palm and fist, not what someone else wrote that they eat), rather than trying to make sense of the bewildering array of formulas, guidelines and rules of thumb that are out there.
you can never go wrong with oatmeal. it helped me get through my transformation. i mixed plain minute oatmeal with scoop of chocolate whey and water. it helped with my cravings, kept me regualr (sorry), kept me full, and provided me with whole grains. definitely six small meals. one of my friends told me something I kept thinking about during my 12 weeks. when you are trying to lose weight and burning calories, you have to keep fueling the fire. six small well balanced meals keep that fire going. if you don't put wood on the fire, the fire burns out. so don't skip your meals. even if it's a quick 250 calorie protein bar and a piece of fruit, keep that fire going! good luck with the transformation.
The authorized food list is a great place to start. just mix and match one protein and one carb from the list. It's so easy!

Hand Over Your Resume, References and Facebook Password?GRAND FORKS, ND (WDAZ-TV) - Instead of gaining access through Facebook to view private pictures and posts, some employers may now ask you for your Facebook username and password.
GRAND FORKS, ND (WDAZ-TV) - Instead of gaining access through Facebook to view private pictures and posts, some employers may now ask you for your Facebook username and password.
The idea is drawing a lot of attention, especially from college students who are beginning to apply for jobs.
Forget wasting your time putting tagged pictures on "private."
There is no law preventing employers from gaining person information such as usernames and passwords, but if the employer uses the information they find against the employee, well that employer could find themselves between a rock and a hard place.
For some it's hard to believe a password may not be private anymore.
"As far as gaining your password and stuff they might be a little bit overboard," said Junior UND student, Jesse Castle.
"I don't think that's fair that potential employers get to see that without your permission," said Sophomore UND student, Tasha Bonn.
Those embarrassing pictures and private posts most try to hide from future employers isn't the only thing they could find.
"I know there's quite a few of my friends that put stuff on there that probably shouldn't be on there," said Castle.
In fact it may be true that there's more cons than pros for those companies that do gain access.
"Even if the employer can lawfully gain access to that, do they even want that because if you can gain access to an employee's personal social media account you may find out things that you can't lawfully know as an employer and can't lawfully take action based on," said Labor and Employment Lawyer, Lisa Edison-Smith.
Race, sex, and religion are all under that category.
"Log on and show me what's on your account right now, I don't think it's a good idea is because, what are you going to do with that information and what kind of information might you see, might you see that person's a member of a labor union, well you can't discriminate on that basis, might you see they're a member of a particular religion, you can't discriminate on that basis," said Edison-Smith.
It makes for a sticky situation. When companies learn that lawsuits can be filed--they may want to steer clear of gaining password access without telling that employee, in fact it's never lawful to gain access without the knowledge of the employee.
"That employer should notify any applicants or employee's if they're going to monitor social media and they should only monitor private protected password information and they should only monitor it with the knowledge of that employee," said Edison-Smith.
Even knowing these employers could face lawsuits for using information in a discriminatory way, has some a bit queasy.
"I would probably deactivate my entire Facebook," said Junior UND student Paige Faymoville.
But it still doesn't stop others.
"It's not going to stop me, if I want a job, I'm going to go after it. It doesn't matter what my personal life dictates," said Senior UND student, Rob Jeffries.
Asking for an employee's password is more common in agencies such as police officers and 911 dispatchers.

Customer Reviews
17 April 2014
Clearly Daylesford have acted upon the feedback from earlier reviewers i.e. full cooking instructions were given. Having been vegetarian for many years, I'm very fussy about the meat I eat and it has to be organic and to taste great. These burgers tick all the boxes and I'll definitely buy them again

Gone bad before use by date!
We bought this product 3 days ago and the use by date is toda,16th September 2013. When we opened it to cook it we found that it had a foul smell and had already gone bad! Ocado products are normally very accurate with their use by dates so this is very disappointing. Will not buy again.

I bought these because I fancied a homemade hamburger and these said they were organic. I was VERY disappointed in these. Beef at its worst.. I only hate half. Waste of money sadly. Won't buy again.

An inconvenient convenience food
The lack of cooking instructions without going onto the net is a real pain especially for a parent trying to teach two boys how to fend for themselves. I ended up with veg cooked well before the burgers. It was not worth the pain. Not convenience cooking more inconvenience

The Sony Ericsson LiveView acts as a remote control for your Android device, leaving it sitting snugly in your pockets. We spent some time with it, trying to figure if it's a novelty, or a useful complement to your smartphone.
First Looks: Plantronics Savor M1100
Bluetooth headsets are meant to create a hands-free experience. Our time spent with the Plantronics Savor M1100 made us realize it does just that with its attention to detail.
First Looks: Jabra Wave
The Jabra Wave is one of the rare, few Bluetooth headsets that values design on the same level as functionality. We strapped it onto our ears, took it for a ride, and reveal our findings in this article.

Past Project Portfolio
The following is a list of some of the projects I've worked on that I'm allowed to publicly talk about. The list comprises projects in fields such as iOS development, medical visualization, custom multi-touch installations and open source.
Medical Classrooms
For a client in California, I created an iOS app for medical classrooms. It performs real-time, three-dimensional rendering of medical volume data (CT, MRI) and allows for extensive digital interactivity between multiple instances of the app on the network (students and teachers are all equipped with iPads).
Copyright 2012 Loma Linda University. Patent pending. Soon to be on the AppStore.
Plausible Labs
I'm working with the incredibly talented people at the Plausible Labs Cooperative Inc. in New York City and San Francisco. For the most part, I've been adding features to their top-grossing (US) iPhone and iPad Comics app that they develop for comiXology.
Zanther Inc. develops the initially crowd-funded iPad application Taposé. Originally developed by a Russian company, the code base grew to a massive size over time. I was recently contracted to help fix some of the lower-level issues and to make the app more usable on the original iPad.
Python on iOS
As part of a research project, I've worked on porting the Python programming language1 to iOS. It allows using Python in any Objective-C application and does not require a jailbreak. Others have used this approach to great extent in their apps (which are available on the AppStore).
Medical Visualization
I've done some work in the field of medical visualization. The main challenge in this field is to make vast sets of data visually comprehensible.
One such attempt is shown below, where I wrote an OpenGL-based program to help neurosurgeons understand nerves in the human brain better. The input to the program is a diffusion MRI scan of a person's brain. You then select a region of the brain where you want to see the fibers, e.g. when planning a surgical removal of a tumor, in which you don't want to damage brain nerves that are invisible once you 'cut a patient open'.
I have co-authored two papers on this and related visualization techniques:
- "Advanced Line Visualization For HARDI", Bildverarbeitung für die Medizin (BVM) (2012)
- "An Exploration and Planning Tool for Neurosurgical Interventions", IEEE Visualization Contest 2010, Honorable Mention
Multi-Touch & Human Computer Interaction
Medical Demo Installation
Another project I created has a medical component, too, but is more user interaction centric. It allows medical data to be displayed on custom multi-touch installations. This can be used in medical meetings, or for doctors to explain and demonstrate things to patients. The project was submitted to a CompVis competition and was awarded the first prize (30 projects total).
Markerless Object Recognition
The following is the result of a relatively short (five week) research & development project for a company in Paris. The goal was to allow custom objects to be recognized without the use of active or passive markers, based solely on an object's contour.
Hand Recognition & Tracking
As a fun experiment, I decided to implement a hand recognition and tracking algorithm. The input to the program was an image showing my hand. The output is the position of the finger tips, as well as the center of the palm. The following are two frames of a video (i.e. the algorithm operates on a video stream in real-time).
Open Source
I've also founded or contributed to a number of open source projects for custom multi-touch installations, such as Movid, Kivy, PyMT, as well as web development, such as Zine and MoinMoin, and well-known projects such as Ubuntu.
I wrote several articles for the (commercial) UNIX print magazine freeX as an independent author.
I was accepted and successfully participated four consecutive times in Google's annual SoC program, most recently for the Natural User Interface Group.
- More specifically, version 2.7 of the CPython interpreter. ↩

Mother Stiffs Gay Server On $100 Check: 'I Do Not Agree With Your Lifestyle'
Well isn't this a gem? Apparently a New Jersey mom with two kids at a Gallop Asian Bistro had no problem shoveling $100 worth of food into her family's mouths, but she had a big problem with tipping her androgynous lesbian waitress.
Dayna Morales, a former U.S. Marine posted this on the "Have A Gay Day" Facebook page:
Dayna writes:
I'm a server at Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, NJ and THIS is what happened to me today.....
The note says "sorry I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle & the way you live your life"
NEVER in a million years did I think this would happen. Not only was it a family with two kids, but as I introduce myself and tell them my name is Dayna - the mom proceeds to look at me and say "oh I thought you were gonna say your name is Dan. You sure surprised us!"
I am THOROUGHLY offended mad pissed off and hurt that THIS is what her kids will grow up learning and that I served in the Marines to keep ignorant people like them free. Sorry lady but I don't agree with YOUR lifestyle and the way you're raising your kids but you didn't see me throwing that in your face and giving you shitty service. Keep your damn mouth shut and pray we never cross paths again.
Dayna M.
How classy of this mom to explain her reasons behind stiffing the server who just spent time on her feet putting food on your table.
Dayna later told her Facebook supporters (and there are many):
Thanks everyone for your support - it took very fiber of my being not to spit in their food and say something. (Not gonna lie if kids weren't there it would of been a totally different story)
How would you have reacted, Instincters?
(H/T: Gaily Grind)
There is having opinions, and then there is accepting this server's service only to have it be for nothing. If she was uncomfortable with the server, she should have asked for another at the beginning. Clearly she had that impression from the start. Servers count on those tips as income. It's not extra money. It is THE money they make. Also, it's not discrimination to call someone out for being an unacceptable human being.
Chick fil a Make plenty of money. The also donate to "charities" that try to shrink away the gay . The watress was an individual that was doing her job . Not a huge cooperation. you chose to eat there. Theee are plenty of other places to eat
Money has nothing to do with it, and you are making up facts. stick to the topic. Hate is wrong from BOTH sides and just because this lady is Ignorant and has misplaced hatred doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to her opinion. Plus it's obvious she's not too bright she makes a redundant and ridiculous statement by saying she "doesn't agree with her lifestyle" as well as she "doesn't agree with how she lives her life" both of which are the same thing said two different ways. Personally I commend Chik Fil A for backing their beliefs and standing up for them. This is America right?
EVERYTHING Ashley stated is true. Research the facts before you claim that others are making their's up. The "lady" who stiffed the waitress didn't pay for services rendered. Not eating at Chik FIl A because they support hate groups isn't hate, it's not giving money to or patronizing an establishment that uses those profits to hurt others like me.
After the racist receipt article, it kind of just seems like all of a sudden everyone is suddenly having all these things to post on the internet about there server problems. This sh!t happens everyday everywhere and not just to waiters some people actually get told to there face, why all of a sudden is it a big deal? Probably because the case with the racist comment the waitress made a lot of money off of it. Now everyone wants to do it. Just seems like you're trying to raise money honestly.
WWJD? Probably smack the stupid bitch!!!
BrianM for president.
Servers shouldn't have to rely on tips and particularly not if issues other than good service come into play. "Sorry I couldn't tip you, I don't like your hair/teeth/tattoos etc" the list could be never-ending.
It's time for American hospitality workers to organize and demand fair pay and conditions. Your employers can raise prices 10 to 20 per cent and simply tell customers the price includes tip.
Get active and organize your workplaces.
they would just replace the servers that went on strike quick as all hell with other people willing to work for tips
Ka-ching,,, and another case of major ignorance raises its head, how sad people like this are populating the world. Bring on the ignorance tax I say,,
I love it. ANOTHER ignorant "Christian". Stupid bitch. Her kids will grow up to be monsters too.
Islam condemns homosexuality. Men are suggested they have beards to not be confused for a woman.
It's ignorant of you to assume she is a Christian, she may belong to a number of different religions. Don't react to an asshole with being an asshole
The article never said she was Christian. Be careful, you don't want to offend someone like she did.
"Thanks everyone for your support - it took very fiber of my being not to spit in their food and say something." So, Dayna, it's pretty clear that you knew from the outset how the experience was going to play out, so why didn't you switch tables with another server? It's not okay to post people's receipts online, regardless of the circumstances.
Actually, non of this woman's information is posted here so dayna has, ONCE AGAIN, done nothing wrong!!
Of course it is okay to post messages that others felt free to write to you, even if they are on a receipt. If you write something offensive to me, I will definitely make it extremely public.
Why is it not okay to post the receipt? People SHOULD know how this woman acted!
of course your comment would be anonymous,,I think name and shame is the game here. No human should have to put up with the ignorance demonstrated by the diner,,,, and the saddest thing of all is that she has had children.
I wonder if the ladies opinion would be the same if a GLBT Doctor was saving the life of her child,,, different story?? thought so,
Why should we, LGBT people, have to swap tables, shifts etc? If (as a white person) I didn't want to serve a black person, would that be acceptable? Didn't think so. You serve whomever comes to your table / counter etc. I've had to serve those I don't like (including Margaret Thatcher) - that made me a better person, not a bitter person.
It's not OK? By what authority?
Stupid fucking bitch should rot in Hell.
Not tipping for this reason is wrong but how did the mom know the waitress was a lesbian? If it was 'that' obvious then how is this different to flaunting your religious or political beliefs at your customers?
Also, the bill would have been paid (not not tipped) after the meal, so how could the waitress have refrained from spitting in the food? There was no food left to spit in.
Honestly, have you ever thought about how often you advertise your sexuality? Serious question, because every time you mention a significant other, even in a conversation that has nothing to do with sex, it announces who you sleep with. It's not purposeful, but if you're a woman telling me you have a boyfriend, I now know you sleep with men. A very short skirt seems to announce the sexuality of a woman just as much as a short haircut, and it's very much different than flaunting your religious or political beliefs because your religious/political beliefs involve words being spoken.
If it makes you uncomfortable that a woman has short hair because they might be a lesbian then you have issues - and those issues aren't the fault of someone who can wear their hair however the f**k they want to.
It would be flaunting her sexuality if she was telling this woman and her kids all about it and offering unsolicited details of her life.
Some gay people are obviously gay. Some gay people are not that obvious. But being obviously gay isn't flaunting it anymore than wearing a cross is flaunting your religion, or appearing black is flaunting your race. What you're really implying isn't that she should refrain from flaunting her sexuality, it's that she should actively hide it -- similar to never wearing your cross in public, or outright denying that you're a Christian, or covering your dark skin with makeup. Hiding one's identity is a terrible thing to *ask* someone to do, much less demand it.
I imagine she wanted to spit in the woman's food after she told her that she thought her name was Dan. That was...ridiculously rude.
It probably wasn't that she knew she was a lesbian. She probably would have assumed any women that was not dressed feminine was a lesbian. So she was stereotyping. It just happened to be that she was correct. The woman made the assumption that how a person dresses or looks like has a correlation with which gender they prefer to be romantically intimate with.
And then for your second comment, the waitress was already insulted when she took the order. The women said to her face (and it sounds like rudely as well) that the women thought she was a guy. In polite society, even if one mistakenly takes one for a male or female when they are in fact the opposite, it is seen as a great insult or misgrievance to be told that to their face.
In the case of flaunting your religious or political beliefs to your customers: that can either be seen as talking with them about those beliefs, lecturing about those beliefs, or wearing some sort of propaganda about those beliefs. This women did none of the above, she just wore the clothes she felt comfortable in and looked a certain way. A straight woman could have dressed the same way and been insulted as well.
Why, sure, Phil. Them there homoSEXshull always is flauting, ain't they?
Or, alternately, there's always someone like you to run cover for blatant bigots and come up with absurd excuses for hatred.
There are rude people out there who will use any excuse to not tip a server and be cheap and greedy. Fact is the server's sexual choices have absolutely NOTHING to do with the service he/she performed for the customer. There are people out there who also believe this rude person has a right to use this as a "reason" to not tip. I was actually unfriended on Facebook by a person who believes just that and she got uppity when I explained the minimum wage for servers and how restaurants could not afford to to pay national minimum wage and keep prices low enough for the average person to dine out. It takes all kinds. This person was just a cheap bastard!
Why is everyone making such a big deal out of this?
This is an outrage. I'd like to say first to Dana, Thank you for your service to our country.
Second, being in the food service business for most of my life I have seen people leave without tipping for one reason or another. But never this. I don't care what your lifestyle is or what color your skin is, You are doing a job that is extremely demanding. The public stinks. We are here to serve you not to be your servant. I want to get paid just like the next person. I hope that this persons children will realize how wrong their mother is and make different choices as they grow older. I will pray that you Dana have a wonderful life no matter what. Know you are loved. Take care and may your next tip be double what you think it should be. Give your best service, that's all you can do. Happy Holidays to you.
Is the mother obligated to agree with her lifestyle? Her money her choice. Definitely offensive but she's not the only one. The US govt doesn't agree either so maybe you should start there.
The US Government recognizes her "lifestyle" and thinks it's just marvelous. Now you, or your backwater state, may not. But, then again, you're the sort of person who thinks that orientation is a "lifestyle" so I'm not sure why we should care what you think.
Lol, I don't live in a state. I'm Canadian and same-sex marriage is recognized here. I have zero issues with it either. Sorry. Good luck getting your people to the 21st century though.
Yes her money her choice but that just left the server dayna to pay to serve those ignorant people. she has to tip out bartenders bussers and pay taxes on that $93.00 tab. So if she did her job correctly and gave proper service she should be tipped for it. Servers make $4.00 an hour and for that woman to make that server pay to be insulted is just wrong, and you are too got agreeing that that ok..,
$4.00 an hour? Jesus christ that would have been wonderful. 6 years ago I was working at Ruby Tuesday for a pissant $2.30 an hour. It was literally the worst job I've ever had, mostly because of customers like this, who would order food and then send it back "because it wasn't what they expected" or they "didn't like the taste". I had a guy order and drink two beers then refuse to pay "because they weren't cold". I would come home from a 7-hour shift with $23 in my pocket, didn't even pay for gas. Restaurant work in a right-to-work state (read: Anti-union) is absolute hell.
Notice she totally ignored the survey portion of the receipt, which is the section that outlines the areas that should ACTUALLY be considered when tipping. C'mon lady, no one asked you if you "agree" with your judgment of this man, which may or may not have been accurate. Makes me sick.
I like to say bad words. So, sorry about it but what a damn bitch. Why did she have the waitress serve them in the first place? So, she accepts the waitress lifestyle to serve her, but not to tip her? Lol what a dumb c***
I would love to give you a tip for having to deal with such a homophobic jerkwad. If anyone deserves one it's you. If you have a paypal, please post it so I can send it!
The worst part is that this woman jumped to such a conclusion based on the server's appearance. I highly doubt she said, "Welcome to Gallop. My name is Dayna, and I'll be your homosexual waitress tonight."
Lifestyle has no relation to service or the tip amount. She robbed him because he is gay. I disapprove of bigots, therefore I should burglarize their homes and leave a note explaining it was because I disapprove of bigotry.
This made me livid. It was rude enough that the person didnt leave a tip, but to leave a hurtful message as well? She had no intention of sharing her opinion.. the only reason anyone says stuff like that is to hurt feelings, and that was her sole intention.
Im gay myself, and it hurts me to see when people are mean to others just because of their sexual prefference.
I don't agree with her at all, but the same freedom that allows the server to be a lesbian also allows for the mother to be a... rude, woman. If you can't accept that than you're just as bigoted.
The 2 scenarios are nowhere close to being similar where you can say that. so the server is a bigot for not liking the ignorant comment that was made towards her? That is absolutely ridiculous!
It's not "freedom" that allows the server to be a lesbian so much as it is biology.
Wrong. No freedom "allows" her to be a lesbian, because it's not something you can/have to be allowed to do. You simply are a lesbian or not. Just like you're either gay, or not, or bi or not, etc. Furthermore, while the mother has the right to her opinion, that does not translate to allowing her to be a bitch. She should have tipped her.

This is one old athlete who has found a way to cheat Father Time but not the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The latest target on the U.S.A.D.A's list: An 80-year-old weightlifter who was busted for steroids, according to The Associated Press. The agency that brought down Lance Armstrong announced a two-year suspension for Don Ramos of Colorado Springs, Colo., who tested positive for steroids while attempting to set a world record in his age group at the Pan American Masters Weightlifting Championships in June. USADA was contracted to test at the event for athletes 35 and older. The suspension means Ramos can't compete again until July 2015. Organizers of masters events have been cracking down on doping. Two years ago, USADA suspended nine masters athletes for positive tests, including one in his 50s and three in their 60s.
Pretty sad that after eighty years you still have to cheat and have yet to work hard for what is right!

Citizens and the police force are being encouraged to donate blood Thursday and Friday in a show of support for Officer Edward Davies, who was shot in the line of duty in Feltonville.
Philadelphia police say the blood drive will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.
Members of the general public can participate at the Red Cross' Philadelphia Donation Center, located at 700 Spring Garden St., or its Northeast Philadelphia Donor Center at 1401 Rhawn St.
Police officers are being asked to go to Training Room 8 at Temple's Administrative Services Building, located at 2450 W. Hunting Park Ave.
MORE: Full Blood Drive Details
Davies was shot in the abdomen Tuesday while responding to help chase and arrest a man who fled into a mini-mart following a traffic stop.
The 25th District officer, a six-year force veteran and married father of four, was shot at close range by the accused gunman, 31-year-old Eric Torres, and remains in critical condition at Temple University Hospital.
Torres is being discharged from Albert Einstein Medical Center on Wednesday afternoon and is expected to be formally charged with attempted murder and other crimes, police say.
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said Wednesday morning that Davies had his second surgery overnight due to complications, and he may have lost a kidney. The officer's injuries are still said to be "life-threatening."
While officials have been urging thoughts, prayers and privacy for Davies and his family, they're also organizing a campaign of support on social media, posting memes on Twitter and Facebook that use a "#StandWithDavies" hashtag.
The American Red Cross retweeted the event details in addition to posting this message of support: "Our thoughts and sincerest best wishes go out to officer Davies, his family, @PhillyPolice, and all safety officers."
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Brownsville-Harlingen Among Most Unemployed Cities
The metro area of Vineland, N.J., Rocky Mount, N.C., Palm Coast, Fla., Dalton, Ga., and Waterbury, Conn., are among the cities with double-digit unemployment rates, Business Insider reported citing figures from a new Bureau of Labor Statistics employment report.
At the end of 2012, the U.S. national unemployment rate was 7.8%. Unemployment rates were lower in 322 out of 372 metropolitan areas, higher in 36 areas and unchanged in 14 areas compared to the same time last year, the report said.
Yuma, Ariz. and El Centro, Calif. recorded the highest unemployment rates at 27.5% and 26.6% respectively.
Here's a snapshot of cities with relatively high unemployment rates, in order of magnitude:

Durham >Food & Dining > El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant
905 W Main St, Durham, NC | Directions 2770135.999623 -78.909757
Mon. - Fri., Sun. 11am - 2:30pm;Sat. 12am - 9:30pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Brightleaf
surprised! – very surprised that El Rodeo was as good as it was. Very cool atmosphere, serves cold Corona's and very large burritos. Kind of challenging location to find. I recommend the burritos, there may be other good options but when i think of them, I think of freshness...which is always a good thing!
Applebee's goes Mexican with free chips and salsa, cheese-swathed combos and one heck of a margarita. – In Short
A corporate fern bar located in the renovated, cobble-stoned Brightleaf Square--the highlight of downtown Durham. Enormous selection of American-friendly Mexican fare. More than 32 combo choices (such as one taco, two enchiladas and rice: $6) as well as the especialidades de la casa. And if you never thought you'd veer from the beef burrito, you haven't seen the 15 vegetarian optionsat Rodeo--try a potato burrito with a chalupa on the side.
Standard Mexican Fair – Been here a few times for Lunch. Usually its crowded and the Salsa is OK. The portions are modest compared to other Mexican restaurants. The Food Quality is OK, nothing special. Selections are standard fair. The service is good and the wait staff friendly. The Price is very reasonable but, considering the portion, its right on par. I am guessing the other reviewers dont go out much as there are better Mexican restaurants in the area.
El Rodeo is the nsip nsp bang bang – First place i went to uopn moving to NC, fell in love with brightleaf square and Rodeo. Been going twice a week for over 10 years now. best setvice, speedy, and just great food!
MY FAVORITE PLACE – El Rodeo on Main Street is one of the BEST mexican eating places. The wait staff there is extra friendly and quick. Everytime I go in they remember me and what I like! I wish that more places were like this one.
Good lunch, served quickly – El Rodeo is a great spot for a quick, hearty lunch that costs about the same as the average fast food joint. The service is fast, but it is good, too. The menu can be overwhelming, but I suggest you try the "Rodeo Lunch" -- very tasty. This not "four star fine dining" by any means -- just good food, served quickly at a good price. that combination makes it a recommended place for lunch as far as I'm concerned.
best margaritas – wow margaritas are very good, and I recomend the fajitas "de la costa" mmmmhh.
and the service is great
Friendly, Fast, Delicious – The servers at El Rodeo are friendly and helpful. Since I eat here a few times a month, the person who usually serves me even remembers my food allergies when I return. Their chicken fajita burrito is great, and their salsa, while mild, has plenty of flavor and more bite than most "Mexican" restaurant chains in NC.
Hot and Fast – The food is always good, hot and served VERY quickly. That it's very inexpensive is an added bonus. I eat here at least once a week.
Typical fare, this place is totally identical to every other Mexican joint in the Triangle. I like how there's a string of reviews that rated this place "10". Not fishy at all. Duh.

The Woman from Wales
Movie star. Oscar winner. Wife of Michael Douglas. Catherine Zeta-Jones is all those things as she nears 40 but at heart, she is still a small-town girl.
Marshall Fine
From the Print Edition:
Catherine Zeta-Jones, September/October 2009
"Cougar? I've never heard that expression." Catherine Zeta-Jones looks perplexed—gorgeous, to be sure, but perplexed, nonetheless. "Cougar?" the actress says again in her native Welsh accent, which still sounds surprising, given how many American characters she's played on film. The question was: Is the term "cougar" (referring to an older woman who takes a much younger man as her lover) a compliment or an insult? With another person, that could be a conversation-stopper. But nothing fazes Zeta-Jones, who is chatty and upbeat for this lunch on the patio of the famed Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel. "Is it a compliment? Absolutely—why not?" she says with a throaty laugh. The subject is actually The Rebound, a new romantic comedy scheduled to open before year's end, in which Zeta-Jones plays a divorcée with two young children who unexpectedly finds herself involved with a considerably younger man (played by Justin Bartha, the missing groom in The Hangover).
But it gets Zeta-Jones talking about the way the film mirrors her own life—only backwards.
"I happen to have the reverse in my own relationship," she says, sipping an iced tea, ignoring the glances of other diners, who have spotted the Oscar-winning actress. "When I was dating Michael (Douglas, her husband of nine years), there was this 25-year age gap, and what I heard was that I was just this girl from Zorro who was after his money.
"But the older woman—younger man thing—I don't know if there's a taboo or if it's just a social stigma. I don't think it happens in movies much, unless it's a comedy. I don't know why age matters so much."
It's another day in paradise and the Beverly Hills Hotel is hopping. Guests arrive and depart in flocks, striding the red carpet from the valet-parking stand to the lobby. The peach and aquamarine color scheme with a palm tree motif bespeaks an old-school glamour, from the elaborate chandelier in the lobby to the bellboys dressed in starchy uniforms and chin-strapped pillbox hats to the lavishly landscaped patio where Zeta-Jones is dining. The hotel is a reminder of a bygone era, an old Hollywood still visible in the kind of pictures that play on the Turner Classic Movies channel.
But Zeta-Jones, in a beige silk top and matching skirt, has none of that "Look at me—I'm a star!" quality. Granted, she's a beautiful woman, with her lush figure, lustrous brunette hair and deep brown eyes. But she's not dressed to make a scene or call attention to herself, with one obvious exception: a 10-karat diamond ring with a rock the size of a cashew that was a gift from her husband.
"Jewelry is my one guilty pleasure," she admits. "Fortunately, my husband has fantastic taste."
The waiter approaches the table and Zeta-Jones orders a salad, then sighs: "I've had everything on the menu," she says. "This place is a little bit like home because we stay here whenever we're in Los Angeles." When her salad arrives shortly thereafter, Zeta-Jones takes a bite and observes, "Really, I was brought up on meat and potatoes."
That's the paradox of Catherine Zeta-Jones: She's a movie star who can glam it up when she needs to, but at heart, she's still the small-town girl from a village in Wales. She's an Oscar winner who's just as happy spending her time at home tending to her two children—although home is in Bermuda (where she and Douglas live much of the year).
"She has great style and she knows how to live well, but she never puts on airs," says friend David Foster, the producer who cast her in The Mask of Zorro, her breakthrough film in Hollywood. "She's just very down-to-earth."

Bought this for my boyfriend a few months back. He's worn a beard as long as I've known him, but is recently wearing it a little longer/bushier than normal. He has dry, coarse hair and wanted something to make his beard "lay down" better. I was worried about the smell being too strong, but it's not. It smells nice! And you only get whiffs of it if you're super close to him.
He swears by it now, and I can definitely tell a difference in his beard! Looks more "groomed".
My husband is a man's man and doesn't like to use ANY sort of product. He only uses bar soap to shower with!!! I bought this for him for Christmas and he loves it! He even ordered himself a bottle which was very shocking!
This elixir has made my boyfriend's beard so soft. I think I might appreciate it more than he does (though he loves it)!
we live in cold climate and this thing keeps my husbands normally brittle beard---softer and smelling so fresh. He likes how easy it is to take with him in the car or a bag (it's tiny) and you don't need very much, plus it's affordable, nothing to lose trying it!
Love the smell of this oil and boy does it work like a charm. My wife no longer complains about how ruff my goatee is
I had never heard of beard oil before. I checked some out on the site and decided on this one. I'm very pleased with it! I love the smell of it and it makes your beard of facial hair feel instantly conditioned. It will feel oily for a while, but it's an oil, so that's to be expected. I like putting it on at night.
I purchased this for my husband and he just will not wear it. The scent reminds him of his grandfather and he doesn't want to smell like an old man.
I don't mind the scent itself, but it is VERY strong. When he put it on, I couldn't kiss him for at least an hour or I'd be overwhelmed.
First off my beard is getting longer and needs a little more to tame the wild hairs. Have said that this is wonderful for a shorter beard. Leaves a faint lingering sent of manliness. The ladies love it too.
As a beard oil it's great, but the scent is fantastic--woody, like sawdust and lumber. Very masculine, and not overpowering.
My wife bought this for me on Valentines day, along with other goodies from Birchbox. I was jubilant to try this product and it was not a let down! It instantly moisturized my beard, and tamed some of the scraggly hairs.
